Anfru...anfor ...anfropomor..anfropomorfizem?

We can ardly say it nd we can defo no spell it but dis werd do be vedy pawtant! It az cawz uz dogz to be luvd nd given omes but it az also ment weez been subjekted to cwoolty!  So wot it meen?

Well acordin Wikpidya duz meen 'da attwibushun of uman karaktwistix to uva anipals'. So weez undastandin dat to meen dat de umans be finkin weez likel furry umanz oo do undastand nd like efurryfin uman!  At diz poynt we nose meny of owr doggy pals az started wollin da eyes nd gwonin az deez beleefs can leed to umilashunz fur us .....

Umiliashunz!

Xtweem umiliashunz!

We undastand dat dis dwessin up stuff duz mak dem appy, nd mos of uz gwin nd bare it - cos no urt nuffiin reely - dey az needs oweva stwanj dey mabbe!

Walt Disney was ah..anfr..anfropomorfik.  In iz filelms e did giv uz dogs da same emoshunz az umanz. Diz duz sumtime go to far do - coz emoshunz iz no da same as motivashunz. 

Fur sample - dog get lef ome alone, no like it nd wip up furniture.

Uman fink dog angry, upset, scared (emoshunz) dat left on own so wip up stuff to get wevenj (motivashun)

Dog feel angry, lonely, upset, scared (emoshunz), rip up stuff cos tak mind off bad feelin nd mak im feel better (motivashun)

Umanz needs to undastan we az needs nd owr emoshunz dwive uz to fulfil deez needs.  We needs choo, so wen lef alone if dey did leev uz lots nommy safe fingz to choo we wud choo deez fingz cuz we wud be makin owrsefs feel betta bowt bein lone, nd we wud be satisfyin owr need to choo!

We duz not ever plot nd skeem to pay sumwun bak or get wun ova on sumwun deez iz complex uman twaits dat we duz no av - nd da umanz finkin we duz iz wer anfropomorfizem go to far!

So umanz - stop expektin uz fink like umanz cuz we canno, but twy fink mor like dogs coz yooz can!
